Welcome

Welcome to 2010-2011 class of 5th graders at Longbranch Elementary. I am excited about starting a new year. During the year we will be reading novels as we improve our reading comprehension skills, fluency skills, vocabulary and inferencing. This is going to be an awesome year. Take a minute to either post something about yourself or tell me your favorite book. When posting a comment please include first name only.
